a Comfortable Feeling in xankfOn-
Grading to Begin ON the whitman &
Sioux Falls Nebraska Sentiment.
IN YANKroN.
lankton is unanimous upon n prop.
osition-that it is to have and must have
the Duluth line and the Omaha line and
it is further sanguins that the Illinois
Central will step in early in the fall.
These convictions create q feeling OF
bouyancy and of happy content and the
Yanktonian conRratulstes himself on
being here. The Omaha project has
been pretty thoroughly discussed and is
unanimously pronounced good. All the
details OF the transaction at Omaha have
been carefully read and the conclusion is
that it offers our city the best opportuni-
~ for q southwark connection that can be
secured. Information from the Duluth
line is also .reassuring. The movement
to institute grading work on the Sioux
Falls division settles the case aud fixes
the direction of the line to Yanktou's
doors. Prospects for the Illinois Central
are excellent and altogether Yankton
feels comfortable.
ON THE NEBRASKA SIDE.
Harrington Herald: At q railroad
meeting held In st. Helena last week tine
citizens of the entire precinct were pre-
sent. A very active interest was taken
by all and 1t was unanimously declared
the sense of the meeting to vote precinct
bonds, Il necessary to secure railway
communication. The people are becom.
ing awakened to the necessity of rail
roads, for progress and advancement
and do not hesitate to s'put their Shout
der to the wheel" and aid in q sub
stantial manner every effort to secure
the much needed line. Precinct bonds,
only, will carry.
At a railroad meeting held at st
James last Friday evening, much inter-
est was manifested and several stirring
and enthusiastic speeches were made by
Influential citizens. All favored the
using of every erdeavor practicable, to
secure a railroad to compete with the
lines now IN the county. The bond
question was considered. with considers
BILE indifference indicative more of con-
domination than approval. The principle
feature offesed was that the rlght-of-
wsy would be furnished free.
THE BURLINGTON.
Sioux Falls Press: 1t was learned
yesterday from @ reliable source that a
party OF survey ors working in the inter-
est Of the Burlington was RAINING q line
northwest from this city in the direction
of Howard and Madison. T. FL. Brown
when Intercepted on the subject denied
all knowledge of any such movement
and in fact eaid he did not think it could
possibly be true. Certain it is, however
that there is something IN the wind
IN regard to q Burlington extension to
the northwest. At least all the signs
point that way.
AN UP RIVER OPINION.
Mitchell Republican,: 1t seems to be
we'll nigh q certainty that direct rail
road communication will soon be had
between Omaha and the James river
valley, and while all eyes are turned
that to the south of us is a market,
fields of Dakota. The effort to create @

between these different competing points,
Dakota will shortly be in a position TO
get not only the highest prices for her
exports, as it were, but also to receive
the lowest figures possible on all articles
which she is obliged to ship in. Da-
kota's development is yet in its infancy.
UNION AoIF.o RUMoRs,
Sioux City journal: 1t is freely talk
ed that the visit of Messrs. Garretson

do with inducing the Union Pacific to
build the Sioux City from the west.

Third streets, extending from the east,
line OF Central Sioux City to the rail-
road tracks, from w. r. Marian and W.
R. Livingston, of st. Paul, to the Bos-
ton Real Estate Investment company is
looked upon as q move toward securing
the r~ight-of-way to the new union depot
and giving room for entrance into the
city and the necessary trackage for bust
